    If they want “emissions” we should use the Euro 6 model. Those engines have the engine and dpf as two separate systems. No EGR, no VGT turbos, no derate, etc. On the Cummins Australia website they LITERALLY state they avoid EGR and VGT’s bc they’re unreliable and are inefficient components. It’s all about the money at the end of the day for the manufacturer and the EPA.

    We sent C500's, X15 with SCR only to China, was weird to look at in a new truck. No egr cooler, bare on the right side of engine, looked like pre-emissions ISX. The export units you see there were likely ordered for a customer that cancelled them. Could be consignments from Paccint that are sitting on the lot, or the dealer got stuck with them if they ordered them, , maybe destination changed their rules and they couldn't be shipped. We had a C500 6x6 that was Ero 3, they chaneged to Euro 4 while it was being built, cust had paid for it though, took about 12-13 yrs to sell it, had some offers, cust rejected the offers.They could have stripped the engine out and used it for spares, cab trans, axles, susp was useable on 75 others that were already over there, they wouldn't do it.

      It is not the same as diesel electric trains, the diesel is powered up full rpm to run the train not batteries like Edison is doing. Trains pull many more tons than a truck does. The reason GM built electric drive motors in trains was so the axles could be separate saving tons in gear and axle weight on the train.

Cummins and other engine manufacturers have been testing engines that meet the EPA 2027 for at least 2 years. When the EPA2010 rule came into effect most diesel manufacturers had zero experience with emissions systems. The main change with the EPA2027 rule is a further reduction of NOx.

      That’s what gliders were originally built for. If you totaled your truck and had a good driveline you bought a glider and put your driveline in it. Then you used your old truck title and it came titled as a rebuilt or built from the old truck.

    After hauling real heavy in the wood industry. All before the permit system. I got sick and tired of the 3.5-4 mpg and repair cost to keep equipment in good working order. In 86 I started hauling from Plattsbugh,ny out Red Bluff,Ca. With an 89 KW t600 cat3406b 425hp 18 spd 3:55. If I ran at a steady 65mph I'd get 5-6 mpg. In 94 I bought a new KW w900 studio cat 3406b 435hp 18 spd 3:55 at 65mph I'd get 4.5-5 depending on wind. In 95 I picked up a used 95 KW t600 aero cab. DD 12.7 430hp 13spd 3:55. All were pre emmisions cats were manual fuel systems. DD was electronic. At 65mph it got 7 mpg. Under 80,000 it push close to 8 mpg. Best thing I did was get out of woods hauling heavy.The 94 cat 435 would leak oil from the turbo.The t600 had small issue with the rubberflaring mounts over the fuel tanks.The 435 would leak a gallon a week. The DD had blow by but used no oil between 8000 mile oil changes. At 870,000 I brought it in to have the over run on it. When they saw the blow by. they they'd do an inframe overhaul. The engine had zero wear anywhere. The piston rings were lined up from a vibration causing the blow by. They only charged Me for the fluids. After that I've been sold on DD.

    All these out of state companies and businesses need to stop kissing californias ass. California must honor legal compliance for out of state vehicles including CMV’s. They can not enforce their rules and regulations on your vehicle as long as it is compliant in your home state. Non permanent modifications or accessories is a different story such as rear detectors, but permanent features such as tint, exhaust etc are considered permanent and California has no jurisdiction to govern your vehicle that is registered in another state so as long as you yourself are not a resident of California.

    If your hell bent on staying away from the new engines as you know today you can go to Cat and with a core they will sell you a NEW Block Cat engine with recon heads & turbo. not a old engine rebuilt. Going to cost you $60,000 but that's the route for you to go. overhauling a engine twice or three times getting up to 2.5 -3 millions miles on the block & spending $40,000 to me is nuts. It's not a NEW Engine

    Just go for electric trucks. All you have to do is call up an electrician from craigslist and have him install that 10 megawatt electric service with it's 10,000KVA pad mount transformer.
    On a serious note, is there an industrial version of the X15? You know there was a new John Deere industrial/ag engine that looked like it would work good in a truck. I was reading up on it last year, I'll have to look at it again. If you need engines, why aren't you just buying rebuildable cores and doing them in your shop? Don't get me wrong, I think you are quite on the ball about this. I just want to see what you have already explored.
    There are also some Cummins engines built under license in asia. I think some of them might be legacy designs. Not sure about restrictions on importing though.
